This afternoon Tim and I decided to try out the permanent orienteering course in the local forest - we've had the map for a while and wanted some fresh air and a bit of exercise. Two things hampered this plan slightly:
1. For an allegedly permanent course, there were no posts/markers to be seen. Tim and I are both proficient enough at reading a map to be sure we were at the correct locations, but nowhere did we see any sign of a letter to fill in on our sheet.
2. It rained. Heavily. Only once we were far enough away from the car that we got very wet on the way back. Did I mention that we didn't bother to take any waterproofs? This did curtail our search for markers, so perhaps point number 1 is not comlpetely correct!
So not quite as active an afternoon as we had hoped for. Never mind - there's always next weekend. If anyone knows any other permanent courses then let us know as we'd love to try again some time!
